Into the Darkness

Lore & Background

The narrative also deepens the mystery surrounding the Weird Sisters and their manipulation of time. By forcing Goliath and Elisa to witness the destruction of the London clan, the arc emphasizes the fragility of gargoyle existence and the importance of unity. It sets the stage for future explorations into other clans, such as Avalon and the Wyvern Clan, proving that gargoyles are a species with a rich, albeit painful, history stretching across continents.

In Their Own Story

The air in the London ruins was thick with dust and centuries of silence. Goliath stood before the shattered stone faces of fallen kin, their wings broken by human weapons long ago. Elisa gripped her sidearm, her breath hitching as she realized these were not just statues, but a graveyard of warriors who had once protected this city just as they did New York. The wind howled through the empty arches, sounding like a mournful song for a race that refused to die.

Reader's Guide
